About This Game Where the Bees Make Honey tells a story about reflecting on different moments from a childhood, which are played and experienced from an adult perspective. It's a dreamy, ethereal, and thoughtfully crafted experience about nostalgia. The game is capturing that grace period in a childhood where playing dress up was larger than life and changed the environments around you. At its core Where the Bees Make Honey is a puzzle adventure game, but gameplay variation is filtered throughout. When game's main character Sunny is an adult reflecting on the times when she was young, the game is played in a first-person perspective. This transition period takes place at her workplace, where she is ultimately at a crossroads with what to do next in her life.Playable vignettes allow for the game to transition into each season. This allows for a more focused approach for storytelling and player engagement. The vignettes offer an additional perspective of the season they precede. The gameplay varies considerably between seasons, vignettes, and moments.An Xbox One controller or equivalent is recommended, and is supported fully beyond the launcher. 6d5b4406ea Title: Where the Bees Make HoneyGenre: Adventure, Indie, SimulationDeveloper:Wakefield InteractivePublisher:Whitethorn DigitalRelease Date: 26 Mar, 2019 Where The Bees Make Honey Activation Code [key Serial Number] The only good thing going for this game was the soundtrack. Only had a play time of MAYBE 45 min. Most of your time is spent dealing with buggy controls. The art is alright, but mostly just off-putting. The puzzles aren't hard at all. There is no direction for the story. Supposedly this game is meant to motivate the player, but I just felt like I wasted my time, attention, and most importantly, my money. I'd rather spend the $10 on some crappy DLC for another game.. Buggy as the worst of them. Keys dont work, xbox controller is upside down and left is right. Unplayable! Steam wont refund cause game launch window counts as play time! Laughable! I will sue for fraud. Absolute garbage, no quality control.. This title is not hard for me to rate: definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!There are some positive aspects to this game. It tries to drag the player in by telling a story of remembering childhood memories. And it pursues many different ways of engaging the player.However, that being said, the last point is also the first big negative of the game as it appeared to me that the developers couldn't really decide on what they want their game to be. As a player you are confronted with many different game mechanics which severely interrupts the game flow and, as such, hinders immersion. Yet that immersion would be particularly crucial to the goal of the game, namely to evoke aforementioned childhood memories.On top of that, the techinal execution is definitely sub-par, and at times exceptionally gruesome! Escpecially the part where you play a rabbit I found it almost impossible to direct that rabbit where I wanted it due to the camera\/controls. While that part has a third person perspective, the controls are relative to the orientation of the rabbit. That wouldn't be a problem if the camera was firmly positioned behind the rabbit but (of course) the developer chose to automatically adjust the camera perspective so slowly that this game section basically became a test of my patience.There are many more buggy parts and all in all no part of this game except the office sequences appeared to me to be really finished or properly playtested. Finally, it took me little over 1.5 hours to complete the game (with one or two achievements appearing to be bugged). So I would not say that it is worth 8.19\u20ac.My final verdict: the developers most definitely are very creative people but unfortunately they lack the technical proficiency and\/or the artistical understanding to reach the assumed goal of this game, i.e. to evoke fond memories in the player and to reflect on his\/her current state by guiding him\/her through childhood memories that are sprinkled with an enjoyable amount of puzzling. At this state the game feels like chores most of the time.PS: If you are looking for a game that does everything right in the mentioned respects get The Gardens Between. It is almost double the price but it surely is a hundred times better!. Where the Bees Make Honey hit me in a weird way that made me nostalgic for aspects of my youth. The edges of the experience aren't perfectly smooth, but life is like that too. If you're looking for a contemplative experience with some very interesting puzzle mechanics, this is a good choice.
